Etiopathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of medial compartment dissease of elbow joints and patella in dogs

The project focuse to diagnosis and treatment of orthopedic diseases in dogs: elbow dysplasia and patella luxation in young animals. By comparing the X-ray findings and the degree of ED according to the scale IEWG C2C concentration of protein with immunohistochemical examination of the ratio of RANKL / OPG and arthroscopic findings of articular cartilage biomarkers concentrations: 3B3 (-), C2C, COMP, and the ratio of RANKL / OPG measured by ELISA and immunohistochemical examination and establishing correlations, we would like to provide laboratory equipment of the synovial fluid to diagnosis of dysplastic changes in the elbow joint. In affected individuals then perform surgical method of abduction osteotomy of the proximal ulna to set indications and limits in relation on the X-ray findings. To verify the possibility of using distraction osteogenesis in the treatment of patella luxation induced changes of the distal femoral angle in young dogs with patellar luxation grade 3 and 4.
